THE CITY COURT.
A Bill to Relieve the City of Its Main
tenance,

The City Council voted unanimously last
night to relieve the city of the cost of main
tanning the City Court. A bill will be in
troduced at the next session of the Legisla-
ture to that effect.
Alderman Schwarz's resolution authoriz-
ing the Corporation Attorney to prepare
the bill evoked considerable discussion.
The Alderman said that the Council COM
mittee which was appointed some time ago
TO confer with the County Commissioners
had held several conferences, the
result of which was the unanimous conclu-
sion that as the so-called City Court is in
reality County Court, the city should he
relieved of the expense attending its main
tenance The resolution was unanimously
passed.
The street pavement question was brought
up by petition from the property owners
on Bull street, between Congress and State,

the matter was dropped. Alderman
Thomas introduced a resolution last night
approving the petition and authorizing the
City Surveyor to advertise for bids for the
contract, and it was unanimously passed.
The Street and Lane Committees plan is to
pave that part of Bull street at the same
time that Congress street is paved

THE NEW PUBLIC BUILDING.
Rumors in Regard to Sites That Have
Been offered the Government

Rumors in Regard to Sites That Have
Been offered the Government.
For some time past there have been
various rumors in regard to sites for the
new government building 1t was asserted
quite positively that several blocks of lots
on Reynolds square had been offered to the
government, and also that block of lots
at the southeast corner of Broughton and
Abercorn streets had been offered. Only one
of the blocks named is held by
one individual. and therefore to make an
offer Of the sites referred to it has been
necessary TO make combinations. The opin-
ion of disinterested parties is that a site in
the locality named would not be the right
one, as it is away from the line of improve
ment of the city, and the building
should be located somewhere between Bryan
and South Broad streets on the north and
south, and Drayton and Whitaker streets
on the east and west. There appear, how
ever, to be some influences at work seeking
TO disregard public sentiment and public in
terests. If the building must be away from
the centre of business, it is the opinion of
some leading business men that il
should be placed in johnson square or
Wright square.

THE LEAGUES OUTLOOK.
Atlanta and Birmingham Both Want
to Get In.

NASHVILLE, May 1S.-The base ball situa-
ton tonight looks much brighter than it
did yesterday. The meeting at Birming-
ham has been postponed until Friday so as
to enable Charleston to be present. Presi-
dent Morrow to-day received a telegram
from Steve Ryan, of Atlanta, asking if At
lanta would be admitted to the league, and
if Nashville would sell the release Of
exManager Bradley. President Morrow in
reply wired Ryan to be at Birmingham
Friday. Birmingham is very anxious for
admittance, and the indications now are
that either Atlanta or Birmingham will be
admitted in Mobiles place, and the other
will buy the francise of Savannah, which
wants to get out of the league With these
changes it is believed the league will be on
as solid basis as ever, and the season can
be played through.

From the London Truth
The women in the Sultan's seraglio at
Constantinople have just been vaccinated to
the number of $50, in a large hall, under the
superintendent of four gigantic eunuchs.
The Italian surgeon, to whom the task
was confded, was stationed in front of a
huge screen, and the women were concealed
behind it. A hole had been made in the
centre of the screen just large enough to al
low an arm to pass through; and in this
manner the arms of the various colors and
sizes were presented to the operator in rapid
succession.
1t was utterly impossible for the surgeon
to get a glimpse of his patients; but in
order to guard against the chance of his
being able to see through the screen, two
eunuchs, who stood by the operator, threw
a shawl over his face the instant an opera
ton was concluded, and did not remove it
till the next arm had been placed in posi-
